How well Lupine Way holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 9°, Lupine Way gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,100 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
